"It's fun, because I've heard from Daniela all these things, and I'm like, oh, I wish I had gone on an outdoor trip with my high school! That is so far from my high school experience," Arlow said, laughing. "I lived in New York for most of my life until January of 2021, when I moved to live with Daniela here in Seattle," she explained.Ĭultivating inspiration from their real lives, the early drafts for their graphic novel center on two girls, one from Seattle and one from out of town, who fall in love. Unlike Casalino, Arlow did not grow up in the Pacific Northwest or even on the West Coast. While they have decided to set their novel in Seattle, the pair have very different histories with the city. "We moved quite a bit growing up, but we would come back to Seattle fairly often, and ever since graduating college in 2019, I've lived here full-time." "I have lived in Seattle since I was about two and a half," Casalino said in an interview with the SGN. If the luckiest people are those who love their work, Seattle couple Daniela Casalino and Jake Maia Arlow have hit the jackpot - they love their work and the person they get to do it with.Ĭasalino and Arlow are using their professional and creative talents in art and writing to develop a new young adult graphic novel together, set in Seattle and loosely based on Casalino's experiences growing up in the region.
